Benni Hemm Hemm's fourth studio album, 2011's
Skot, features lead singer/songwriter
Benedikt Hermannsson backed by the Icelandic pop ensemble
Retro Stefson. Once again showcasing
Hermannsson's knack for rambling and melodic folk-pop,
Skot is an organic and low-key affair that delivers more than a few joyous pop moments. All of the songs on
Skot are sung in Icelandic and tracks such as the sparkling "Ef Ekki Cc," the intimate ballad "Matinée," and the rollicking "Ljósid Sem Ad Slokknar Aldrei" should appeal to fans of well-crafted, '60s-influenced pop. ~ Matt Collar
